1896 Map of Redondo

About this map

Redondo serves as a focal point along this late 19th-century coastline, where the landscape is defined by vast ranchos and an emerging rail network. The terrain transitions from the salt marshes of Wilmington Lagoon and Bixby Slough in the south to the uplands of San Pedro Hills. This era captures the region before the massive harbor developments of the 20th century, showing early coastal settlements like South Santa Monica and Machado near Ballona Creek.
